xt_file_mod_cmp(3)	   Library Functions Manual	    xt_file_mod_cmp(3)

NAME
       xt_file_mod_cmp() - Compare time	stamps on two files

LIBRARY
       #include	<xtend/file.h>
       -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
       int     xt_file_mod_cmp(const char *file1, const	char *file2)

ARGUMENTS
       file1, file2: Names of two filesystem objects whose time	stamps
       are to be compared

DESCRIPTION
       file_mod_cmp()  compares	the modification times of file1	and file2.  It
       compares	modification times on  two  files  using  the  same  rules  as
       "make",	and  returns  an  strcmp(3) compatible status value indicating
       which is	older.	A file that doesn't exist is considered	older than the
       big bang.

RETURN VALUES
       A value < 0 if file1 is older or	does not exist.	 A value > 0 if	 file2
       is older	or does	not exist.  0 if the files have	identical modification
       times, or neither exists.

SEE ALSO
       make(1)
